Work made at Yvonne's Workshop

Here are the beginings and some of the finished tiles.

I always take my workshop inspiration into ideas

that I am working on and develop them personally.

We initially drew our chosen designs onto

light weight vylene or Stitch and Tear.

This is placed on the back and the felt is placed

on the front, coloured side up.

You then free machine around the design.

The next step is to burn away the excess felt with

the soldering iron. Then using a heat gun

melt away certain areas to make the piece look old.

I then used inks and paints to add details with

stencils and stamps.

Thank you Yvonne for such a lovely day.

More Mandalas Cards

Kim's class finished at lunch time so I went over to the Bead Shop

in Dereham that sells all sorts of craft items and

brought some card and of course a few pots of the

wonderful shimmer paints and Embossing Powders. Yum!

I had the quickest lunch I think I have ever had and

started stamping and embossing in gold.

Kim had given a demonstration of this earlier,

I always use it on textiles and in moulding plastics

so using it on paper is just magic.

Then to cutting out and figuring out what lines to choose!

Not easy when you get confused what line is what

and there is no tutor to hand!

The best bit for me was painting with the

shimmer paints, so iridescent, beautiful.

Above, you can see my second finished card,

completed all on my own with encouragement

from Haydn and Judy the Gallery owners.

I am quite pleased and Thank You to

Kim for inspiring another creation.
